McKillican and Mobley General Store, 1870-1942 and undated.

Physical Description:
3.5 cubic ft.

Series Scope and Content Summary

This series contains financial and administrative records from the McKillican and Mobley General Store located in North Bloomfield,
California. The store was built in 1870 and served the townspeople as well as miners and nearby mining operations. North Bloomfield's
Post Office operated from within the store beginning with the store's establishment.

The name of the store changed several times between the 1870s and 1898. Other names include McKillican Burt, Crandall and
McKillican, and Estate of D. R. McKillican. The proprietor D. R. McKillican died in 1892 and upon the settlement of his estate
in 1898, the store became the McKillican and Mobley General Store until its dissolution.

Goods and supplies typically came from San Francisco or Sacramento to Nevada City by way of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge
Railroad. The merchandise was then loaded onto freight wagons and hauled to North Bloomfield. Included in this series are
shipping records from the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad, the Central Pacific Railroad, the Chicago and North-Western
Railway, and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

The bulk of this series consists of receipts and invoices from vendors selling merchandise to McKillican and Mobley. Correspondence
in this series is primarily with vendors.
